Pitino is a name. I dunno what else to think about this. If he brings dent with him, I’ll like it a lot better

This, but like one guy has won at Minnesota in 30 years. The guy has done very well at NMU, but this hire seems a tad underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, Mack was a safe hire but let's all remember the Steele PTSD posts. Well clearly there was some Miller PTSD in GC's head, this hire screams it. Could be Mack asked for the same low buyout and GC learned his lesson. Either way, we went younger which I like. Hired the ultimate slimeball's son, but we just had a slimeball leave. Can't throw stones in glass houses. Sins of the father and all that stuff also.Quote:

Not that it’s a bad thing but pitino will be gone within 3-4 years. Whether it’s from being fired or going to a bigger job. Hopefully, it’s at least to a bigger job
Mack has an Elite Eight and a #1 seed on his resume.Quote:

Looks like I got the “no name” part wrong. If nothing else, this will be interesting.Quote:

I’d bet it was already spoken about behind closed doors but X wasn’t obliged to that conversation in my theory. Seems like another 3-4 year higher. I like it for now. Would have rather had Mack.
